THESTORE

THESTORE is an inaccessible level in Doom v0.3. It is believed to be an early implementation of the idea for a shop where the player could purchase ammo and other supplies in the first episode envisioned by Tom Hall in the Doom Bible. An inert player sprite (similar to a voodoo doll) seems to be positioned in the level to act as the storekeeper character, and there are several consoles that might be meant to act as counters. The level would have acted as part of a hub branching from the game's starting level, Supply Depot Two, which was at that time E1M1. That level later became, and its associated hub areas were all dropped from the game.
